Driver tries to evade Lubbock police

Lubbock police engaged in a short car chase with an uncooperative driver Sunday evening around 9:30 p.m.

The chase lasted a few minutes before officers got the vehicle stopped and the driver in custody.

The officer said he was trying to stop the vehicle after the driver failed to signal a lane change. He was heard on the scanner telling other officers that traffic was light and speeds were about 55 mph.

The Lubbock Police Department information desk didn’t have the suspect’s name or other information at report time.
